Film & discussion with Mike Keene
January 29, 2025 @ 1:00 p.m.
Held at NYM NYM Public Library

The New York Mills Regional Cultural Center in collaboration with the New York Mills Friends of the Library is pleased to present a film viewing and discussion with author Michael Keene on Wednesday, January 29, 2025 at 1:00 p.m.

Join us for an interesting and informative afternoon about the Orphan Trains that brought children from New York to Minnesota and other western states. Attendees will watch the film “Abandoned” and then author Mike Keene will join remotely to answer questions after the movie presentation.

This will be a unique hybrid event with history author, Michael Keene. The program explores the audacious relocation scheme which operated between 1854 and 1929, when an estimated 250,000 orphaned or abandoned children were transported west by train and placed in foster homes, mostly in rural mid-western areas, though there were several local placements. The premise now seems incredible, but it developed in response to a crisis incare for homeless children.  Their stories are incredibly haunting and poignant.
